OFSS Bihar 11th admission 2025: Online application process begins tomorrow – The Times of India
Bihar 11th admission 2025: The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has announced that the online application process for 11th-grade admissions in Bihar for the academic session 2025-27 will begin tomorrow, April 24, 2025. Students aspiring to enrol in Class 11 in Arts, Science, or Commerce streams can apply through the Online Facilitation System (OFSS) portal. The application process will remain open until May 3, 2025.
The BSEB’s decision to activate the OFSS platform comes after the release of the Bihar Board Matric and Inter results in March and April 2025. Students who have completed their 10th grade via the CBSE, ICSE, or Bihar Board are eligible to apply. They will need to visit the official OFSS website (ofssbihar.in) to fill out the application form, which can be done after the results of the CBSE and ICSE board exams are announced.
Application process details
To apply for admission, candidates must submit their application forms online through the OFSS portal. A key detail to note is the application fee. Students will need to pay a fee of Rs 350, which has increased by Rs 50 compared to previous years. The payment must be made for the application to be considered valid. Without the fee deposit, the application will not be accepted. This fee can be paid online through various payment options.
Poll
Do you think the application fee increase of Rs 50 is reasonable?
Once the online application period concludes on May 3, 2025, the BSEB will release the first merit list, which will be based on the students’ marks and their respective reservation categories. A total of three merit lists will be published. If a student’s name does not appear in any of the three lists, they will have the opportunity for spot admission.
Merit list and selection process
The merit list will play a crucial role in determining the allocation of schools and colleges for the students. Schools and colleges will be assigned to candidates based on their performance in the merit list. The final selection will be based on the marks obtained in the 10th board exams.

What happens if you miss the merit list?

Students can apply for admission at designated centres such as Vasudha Kendras, District Registration cum Counselling Centres, Cyber Cafes, or via personal laptops or computers. The application process is designed to be accessible and student-friendly to ensure a smooth admission experience.

KEA discontinues PG Architecture entrance exam, MArch admission now via PGETA score: Check important details here – The Times of India
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially discontinued its PG Architecture entrance examination for MArch admissions. Going forward, admissions to the Master of Architecture (MArch) programme across Karnataka colleges will be based on the Postgraduate Entrance Test in Architecture (PGETA) conducted by the Council of Architecture (CoA).
The announcement was made by KEA via an official update on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“The #PGArchitecture exam will no longer be conducted for admission to #KEA. Instead, it has been decided to grant admission to the Master of Architecture degree based on the marks obtained in the national level #PGETA conducted by the Council of Architecture.”
PGETA to replace state-level entrance for MArch admission
The Council of Architecture (CoA), under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, is responsible for organizing the PGETA 2025 — a national-level computer-based entrance test. With this change, the PGETA score will now be the sole basis of admission to MArch programmes offered by architecture colleges in Karnataka.
The CoA conducts this exam for admission to over 400 architecture institutions across the country, ensuring a standardised and transparent selection process.
PGETA 2025: Key highlights
The Postgraduate Entrance Test in Architecture (PGETA) 2025 is expected to take place in July and August, with exams scheduled on Sundays at designated centres across the country.
This computer-based test (CBT) will be conducted once a year, offering candidates the opportunity to appear twice. The exam will consist of 75 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), carrying a total of 100 marks.
Candidates are allowed a maximum of two attempts, and for admission purposes, only the best score out of the two will be considered. This approach gives applicants a fair chance to improve their performance and secure a better score for the final selection process.
What this means for aspirants
With this move, Karnataka aligns itself with the national framework for architectural education admissions. This change not only reduces the exam burden for students but also allows a more unified and merit-based admission process across states.
Interested students should stay updated by regularly visiting the official websites of the Council of Architecture and KEA to access registration details, exam dates, syllabus, and guidelines for PGETA 2025.
